A survey of software-defined radio technology and radar applications

Abstract

In this document, we have a review of the use of software-defined radio (SDR) technology from its inception with the coinage of this word by Joseph Mitola III in 1990, to applications focused on the use of radar-type SDR equipment, which combined with knowledge of the electromagnetic waves effects (microwaves), provide us with a starting point to generate studies focused on the use of microwaves. The application of microwave technologies with low-cost equipment will allow timely access to describe the Doppler effect. The present study analyzed the applications and described their main achievements as in the case of speed detection by a continuous wave radar CW in the theory of the Doppler mathematical model is verified showing an error range between 0.18% and 6%. This represents a starting point for future research related to radars and SDR This represents a starting point for future research on related medical treatments using radar and SDR technology.
